This publication is a collection of transcripts from the Tribeca Talks panels of 2002 and 2003. Featured are documents from nine panels, including: New York, New York: A Movie Maker's Muse with Martin Scorsese, Jay Cocks, and Richard Prince, moderated by Nick Davis; In Love, in the Movies with Lauren Bacall, James Harvey, Paul Rudnick, and Jennifer Westfeldt, moderated by Nora Ephron; What's So Funny? Laughter in the Movies with Jay Roach, Paul Rudnick, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, moderated by Lisa Birnbach; and Actors on Acting with Roger Bart, Edie Falco, Helen Hunt, Holly Hunter, and Paul Rudd, moderated by Peter Bart. The introduction by James Sanders explores the history and urban character of Tribeca, including the arrival of the film community in the 1990s, the impact of September 11th, and the subsequent birth of the Tribeca Film Festival under the auspices of the Tribeca Film Institute (founded in 2002 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, Martin Scorsese, and Craig Hatkoff).
